If you can weld and have 2 hours to spare you can have the Ruffstuff kit installed in no time. It's super simple and works great.

 

Yea I can. But I do like the over all package of the Caltrac setup.

 

For quick and cheap Id throw another main cut down and upside down on the existing main. Then clamp and strap it a few places. I ran a lowered s10 for almost 5 years in early 90s before bagging and all the sweet stuff out now. Final setup was s10 main with second shortest helper installed as stated above with blocks and air shocks. Worked well for over a year before the end. I ended with that solution after snapping a mono leaf launching around a corner. I was not throwing that much power at it ymmv.

 

Well I gathered up my pennies and called about a set of caltracs. They do NOT have a bolt on setup for xjs. Something will have to be nodded to work, one way or another, so I'm just gonna do a regular traction bar

 

What about fabbing up a traction bar from the u bolts to the front spring eye in a matter of a few hours a side for a quick helper?

 

Yep that will work, but after doing some more research on launching a leaf spring car I went went a bigger sway bar and I'm going to relocate my shock mounts.
